Ifrane National Park

The park spans 125,000 hectares across the Middle Atlas Mountains, featuring cedar forests, lakes, and mountainous terrain at elevations between 1,300 and 2,400 meters.

Morocco established Ifrane National Park in 2004 to safeguard local ecosystems, later expanding its boundaries in 2008 to include additional wetlands and high-altitude forests.

Local Berber communities maintain traditional practices while contributing to environmental preservation efforts through sustainable resource management within the park boundaries.

Visitors can explore numerous hiking trails throughout the year, with spring and autumn providing moderate temperatures suitable for outdoor activities and wildlife observation.

The park contains one-tenth of global Atlas Cedar populations and maintains one-fourth of remaining Barbary macaques, the only primate species naturally occurring in North Africa.
